  • Brick color

    Is there anyway to get the color back on faded bricks? This house had no gutters and I don't know if that contributes but there's area where the bottom 3 layers are faded.

    I tend to think that is more on the bricks than it is the bricks fading. High pressure sprayer?

      I used my little 1200 psi washer and it didn't seem to make a difference.

      Think I need a real mans power washer?

        Try again with the 1200 set to the thinnest spray pattern and see if it "cleans" a mark off it, like trying to make a line across it or something. I'm thinking the 1200 psi is not enough, at least on a pattern that is kind of wide to clean the area. Also, did you add anything other than water when trying?

          You'll probably want to hit that with 2k+ psi to see a difference.

            Last year my aunt and uncle had their house acid washed and it brought it back to looking like new.

              buy a small bottle of CLR from lowes. spray it on a small area, then hit it with your pressure washer.

              god bless.

                      Agreed... My uncle wouldn't handle the stuff and he had to handle numerous acids with work.

                        Not sure it's worth having someone acid washing it. I will google the acme brick cleaner stuff.

                        If my little power washer does work but in a little line then it would take a long ass time.
